Fruits & Passion Diffuser Adds Scent and Style to Your Home

Reed diffusers — the bottles of oil that "diffuse" scent into a room through long, thin sticks or reeds — have become a popular alternative to candles. On the one hand, they are safer to use than candles because there's no open flame. But on the other hand, the tall reeds can be unstable and easily knocked over, and the oil is messy to clean up. That's why I'm excited about a new diffuser design from Fruits & Passion. It's not only less likely to spill, but also much prettier (I think) than those traditional reeds that just stick out of a bottle.

flower. Simply fill the vase with your favorite scented oil (not included) and insert the stem of the flower. As the birch wood petals absorb the oil, the fragrance fills the room. We've had one set up in our Good Housekeeping Research Institute (GHRI) Home Appliances and Cleaning Products Lab for weeks, and we're still receiving compliments about how wonderful our space smells. In addition to the orange and green colors pictured here, the flowers come in purple, turquoise blue, and magenta pink. I think they are a pretty yet subtle and safe way to add both fragrance and a splash of color to any room in your home.
